Families in Transition

Sometimes families find themselves in circumstances beyond their control that can result in homelessness. The Wilkinsburg School District provides support through their Homeless Liaison for “Families in Transition” — those who may be experiencing homelessness for the first time or those who have been homeless for an extended period of time.

We are here to help you and yours!

The Homeless Liaison is here to ensure that your children receive a quality education, receive the same opportunities for a stable educational experience, assist where possible with tangible needs, transportation and other identified needs while your children are enrolled in any of the districts schools and/or charter schools.

If you are at risk or currently experiencing homelessness, please contact Ms. Shawn Johnston, the Homeless Liaison, at 412-871-2285, Monday-Friday from 8:00a.m.-4:00p.m, or send email to johnstons@wilkinsburgschools.org.

We're so excited about a new collaboration with Pitt-Assisted Communities & Schools program, which is housed in the University of Pittsburgh School of Social Work and uses Pitt resources to support schools and institutions in Homewood.
Students from Westinghouse Academy Wilkinsburg School District visited our @pittarchivesandspecialcollections -- earning college credit & gaining experience using University-level resources.
